As the Russian invasion of Ukraine is gathering momentum, the New York Times reported that Andriy, a 25-year-old Ukrainian fighter pilot, has been waiting for orders every night to take off in his Su-27 as soon as he hears "lift off". The report also pointed out that the "air-to-air" battle, which is rarely seen nowadays, has been staged almost every night in the Ukrainian night sky for nearly a month, with fighter jets diving and making sharp turns, just like the movie "The Defenders".
This reminds Himson of the most luxurious recruitment movie in the history of the United States, "The Defenders". No matter what the impression is of the handsome Brother Tom or the love affair with the beautiful heroine, but in the eyes of everyone, the only protagonist of this movie is the F14 Tomcat, which is known as the most handsome fighter plane in history. The F14 Tomcat is a legendary fighter plane.
The F14 is the first fourth-generation fighter designed by the American Grumman Company, which produces felines named after them, such as the F4F-Wildcat, F6F-Hellcat, F8F-Bearcat, F7F-Tigercat and so on. F14 is "Tomcat" male cat.
The F14 was developed to replace the F4 Phantom piloted by the instructor in "Defender of War". It began test flights in 1970 and entered service in 1974, and was responsible for the defense of the U.S. aircraft carrier strike group.......
